The eye initially develops as a single median evagination of the diencephalon that soon bifurcates to form the paired optic vesicles. As each optic vesicle grows towards the body surface, its proximal part narrows as the optic stalk, and its distal part invaginates to form a two-layered optic cup. (...) The outer layer of the optic cup becomes the pigment layer of the retina, whereas the inner layer differentiates into the photoreceptive cells and neuronal layers of the retina.[well established][VHOG] UBERON:0005888 optic fiber layer neural retina nerve fibre layer retina nerve fiber layer stratum opticum of retina optic fiber layers layer of nerve fibres of retina inner limiting layer of retina retinal neural layer
